We’ve just witnessed three mass shootings over the course of a week, with dozens of innocent, unarmed people dead and many other injured: one last Sunday July 28 at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California that killed 3 and injured a dozen, one at a Walmart in Texas on Saturday Aug 3 that killed 20 and injured 26, and then one in the wee hour of 1 AM on Saturday night outside a bar in Ohio, which killed 9 and injured 27.

So I think at this point, the writing’s on the wall; it’s time to implement, on a national scale, some common-sense gun measures in the interest of public safety:

It’s time for the common-sense arming and training of a much larger portion of the populace It’s time for the common-sense repeal of all restrictive, rights-violating, and unconstitutional gun control laws It’s time for the common-sense end of all political, corporate media, and cultural stigmatization of law-abiding gun owners (when they should, in fact, be praised and thanked for their service to society) It’s time for the common-sense end of all gun-free zones in public spaces It’s time to start including common-sense (and mandatory) firearm use and safety classes in all school curriculums
